At present, the list is:
BETDAQ Betfair Betsson TradeSports
This list seems fairly arbitrary to me. I can understand Betfair being included, seeing as though it's the industry leader and maybe Betdaq as there's general consensus that it's the next biggest competitor but where do we draw the line from here? Why isn't WBX included for example? I would argue that this exchange has more liquidity than Fasbet, Betsson and Tradesports. I'm tempted to draw a line through all the smaller exchanges and just leave the two biggest ones up but is this fair and is it useful to Wikipedia members to do this? Another option is to just include the DMOZ listing for gambling sites but this list has not been actively maintained and is in a derelict state. It is also fairly irrelevant to betting exchanges.

User:ProphetExchange and an anon (probably the same person) are trying to insert refs to 'Prophet Exchange'. Google indicates nn, so I reverted. If anyone can show otherwise, please do so here. -- Doc (?) 18:28, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=max&size=medium&compare_sites=&y=r&url=betfair.com shows that traffic to betfair.com has halved in the first 6 months of 2006. Does this indicate that betfair.com no longer owns 90% of the market? Has an competitor taken a lot of their market?
Almost everybody refers to the Betting Exchanges as such - and not a "Bet Exchange" as referred to in the title.
Shouldn't this entry be re-labelled to "Betting Exchange"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hne123 ( talk • contribs) 11:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
I am not going to edit the page, it is none of my business. But the following statement in the Traders section may need to be updated:
"The profit or loss for a trader will typically be no more than 10% of the total amount of his combined back and lay stakes."
Exchanges such as Betfair are quite efficient now and the 'overround' (which is the p&l on a balanced book) is typically less than 2% when liquidity in the market is high enough for a trader to be able to reasonably expect to take offsetting positions. BUT If you know of somewhere where the overround is in the region of 10% PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I wan't in on that action!!! 203.11.225.5 04:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
This article has an interesting take on betting exchanges but it is WP:synthesis and reflects a particular WP:POV. Needs a re-write. Paul Beardsell ( talk) 06:34, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
When I saw that
Matched_betting was redirected to
Betting exchange I was a little stunned...
Matched_betting is a system than THOUSANDS of players in the world use to obtain a secure way to win some money, this system/way is based on sportsbook that have Betting exchange, but it is not Betting exchange, absolutely not.
Matched_betting uses Betting exchange but even that is not necessary, to do Matched_betting the players can use a normal sportsbook and place Betting exchange to the side, using Arbitrage betting and others ways...
Matched_betting is using the bonus given by the sportsbook and obtaining profit using a almost 100% secure way...
Betting exchange is not that.
For that I ask that Matched_betting could be placed as a independent article without redirect to another article, in this case Betting exchange

Matched bettting isn't that strongly linked to exchanges and can be done without them. Therefore, a separate article should be made or the redirect deleted (or redirected somewhere else). Christopher Connor ( talk) 01:35, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Wouldn't intrade.com be an example of a betting exchange? If so, it ought to be mentioned: it's much better known than Betfair outside the UK. Grover cleveland ( talk) 03:41, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
